AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_get_connection_options_recursively'

I would like to get the interfaces from several network devices like ios/asa etc. I did everything like in the documentation tutorial part is shown.

from nornir import InitNornir
from nornir_napalm.plugins.tasks import napalm_cli
from nornir_utils.plugins.functions import print_result

nr = InitNornir(
    inventory={
        "plugin": "SimpleInventory",
        "options": {
            "host_file": "hosts.yaml",
            "group_file": "groups.yaml",
            "defaults_file": "defaults.yaml",
        }
    },
    dry_run=True,
)

result = nr.run(
    napalm_cli,
    commands=["show version", "show interfaces"],
)

print_result(result)

Instead of getting the Interfaces i got an error.

    sp = g._get_connection_options_recursively(connection)

^^^^ END napalm_cli ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Does anyone has a recommendation how to fix the error?

Best,

Based on the error I don’t think your inventory files are correct

Closing as I don't think this is a nornir issue, feel free to reopen and provide more information if you think it is. Thanks
